Last week I downloaded Atlantis III from the GamersGate site. The game played perfectly until I reached the final chapter and entered into Shambahla. When I got there, I was supposed to talk to the old woman and the old man, but I could not initiate an audible or sequential dialog with them. On obtaining a walk-through, the sequence has to be in an exact order by clicking on the dialog boxes. When I clicked on them, nothing happened and no conversation took place. If I clicked again on the character, a caption appeared saying I was not suppose to talk and the whole sequence had to be repeated.
Has anyone else played this game; and if so, did they find any problems with this part of the game? The original game by Cryo, before being taken over by Microids was supposed to have contained numerous glitches. I am just wondering if it is in fact a glitch and how do I get around it. Looking for some help from you wonderful contributors. Thank you in advance.

Hi Troglodyte, to GameBoomers.

I haven't played this game, I'm not sure if this is a glitch or not. Can you try going back to an earlier saved game and replay through? That might unstick you and trigger the dialogue that you need.

Otherwise, hopefully someone who is familiar with this game will be able to advise what the problem might be, or if this is better moved to Glitches for tech advice.

Thanks for your suggestion Rushes. I have done that several times and even downloaded the game a second time and played it from scratch with the same result.

I don't think it's a glitch.
Anytime you talked if you're not supposed to or talk out of the sequence - they just stopped talking to you and you'll be standing there with a 'now what' look - I know, it happened to me several times before I learned the sequence.

I don't remember if there's a reset. I remember wandering around and around clicking at things - thinking I missed something.
As with Rushes - I woudl recommend starting over - do the sequence and wait because the response might a sec or 2 late.
I will check if I have a saved game here.
I have several but not labeled. I can send it to you if you want to check what they are for.

Sent some saved game files.

A saved file at that stage would be very much appreciated thank you.

I sent you some 3 hours ago. Tell me if you have not received it yet.

Thank you ever so much MaG, the save worked perfectly and I completed the game with no further problems. Some day I hope to be able to repay the compliment for you time and effort.

Top Job, well done.

Once in a while - I can help.
Glad you got through and finished.
More great games out there.
